SIG Sauer is expanding its widely popular line of M400 AR-pattern firearms with the new M400 Switchblade<\/a>, a large-format pistol chambered for 5.56 NATO. The Switchblade is a heavily featured pistol that comes with Magpul’s latest BSL stabilizing brace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standout feature of the M400 Switchblade is that it comes standard with fully ambidextrous controls. While many ARs have ambidextrous selectors, charging handles, and sometimes magazine release buttons, the Switchblade also has ambidextrous bolt release levers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambidextrous controls, a premium 2-stage Matchlite Duo Trigger and 11.5-inch taper-profile cold hammer-forged barrel make this a competition-focused pistol, with an M400 Pro free-floating modular M-Lok handguard. A lot of practical-tactical shooting sports implement stages require competitors to shoot both left- and right-handed; using the Switchblade, they’ll have a distinct advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the M400 Switchblade doesn’t ship with optics, that is also a very personal choice for competitive shooters. Not only do most shooters have preferences when it comes to optics and iron sights, most shooting sports have different classes for different setups, so it’s only natural to leave that up to the shooter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe M400 Switchblade brings an entirely new level of performance to the M400 product family with unmatched flexibility and capability,\u201d said SIG’s Tom Taylor. \u201cThe pistol features fully ambidextrous controls to include the charging handle, selector, and unique to the Switchblade, the bolt catch and release for seamless transitions from hand to hand and rapid deployment of the catch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Additionally, the new Magpul BSL brace offers improved stability, and the rigid handguard is designed to withstand the weight of maximum accessory installation, truly making the M400 Switchblade the ultimate performance pistol,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
